Earlier this year, I stumbled across Kat Sloma’s Liberate Your Art 2012 Postcard Swap, and I just had to participate. Before I show you the postcards, I’d like to thank Kat for organizing this. She’s done a massive amount of work. There were 192 participants, who all sent her 5 postcards, and she sent 5 of those, plus one of her own, to every single one of us.
What I sent
I sent these postcards to Kat for distribution.
Since I had more cards than I needed, I did a post on Facebook offering to send them to people. I sent 6 to people outside the swap, and 5 to fellow swappers. The one that proved most popular was the Raven. I gave the original away back in 2004, so I might have to create another Raven, not a copy of course.
What I received
I’ve received a total of 9 cards so far (3 outside the swap, from fellow swappers). I don’t think we’ll stop swapping just yet, so I might get more. 
The people I received cards from were: Kat Sloma, who arranged all this. She’s at http://kateyestudio.com/

Sherry Harmes, Amook Island Creations, Amook Island, Alaska, USA 
It’s been fantastic, and I’ve connected with people in far away places. I hope to be able to participate next year as well. In the meantime… If you’re some kind of creative (you don’t have to be a painter or photographer, doesn’t matter if you quilt), and you’re up for swapping pictures of your work for my pictures, let me know.
PS. I got another card on Wednesday, this one’s from Deanie Houghtaling in Phoenix, USA. 
Pleased to meet you; the swap was such fun. Your postcards are lovely…both given and received. See you next year, I hope. I tried to leave a comment last night but couldn’t so I hope this one works.
This one worked. The code for the swap was messing with my comments form, so I had to remove it. I thought it was fun too. I haven’t stopped yet 🙂 Hope to see you next year.
This was such a fun experience! So much beautiful art flying around! I’d love to swap with you, too. The side-swapping has been as much fun as the original swap….and meeting so many cool people is definitely a big benefit!
I agree 🙂 Let’s swap 🙂
You received and sent some lovely cards. It’s been great fun.
Yes it has 🙂 And I haven’t stopped yet
I’m reading about your 2012 swap by following Kat’s links. I love how you detailed what you sent, what you received, etc. I participated this year and am SO excited.
Thanks 🙂 I plan to do the same for this year 🙂
